FEW realize the immense waste by fire
losses in this country. y reliable esti-
mate places them for May at Sl0,G3G, 300,
S2,5OO,O 600 larger than the May average
for the past l2years land 1886, 800 larger
than the loss for May, 1856. The total
fire waste for the first five months of
1857 amounts to sol ,ssG,5O0 against s4,-
10000 for the corresponding period of
lSSG. And the worst feature of it is that
carelessness is the cause of very large
proportion of this destruction of property.

''act to regulate commerce" February 4.
Congress remained in session until noon
of March 1, and as reminder to the ex-

that "the provisions relating to the ap-

THE SOURCES" OF DIVIDENDS.
THE SUBJECT FURTHER ILLUSTRATED.

The ways OF the Virginia agent when he
comes under the influence of the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance Company, strongly
resemble those of Providence in their in.
scrutabilty. In a late issue we illustrated the
penchant of firm of Norfolk agents to in.
dulge in the easy and flowing style of the
quack medicine advertisement. Then they
were Offering rewards to the extent of $3.50 for
every case that policy in the Northwestern
would not cure.
Now the same firm has taken another step,
and are advertising their principal as prof.
cient in one of the main features OF the taXid
ermist's art. The newest literary production,
among other things, says
Where the double dividends OF the North.

To each 81 1000 OF insurance the Northwestern

as div !dcnds
saved is a rather mild word to describe
the operation of paying 500 less on each
$1,000 OF insurance than any one of four prom
inent companies; but the Northwestern seems
to like it, and so we use ii too, instead of EN-
ploying the word which describes the first
process of the art OF taXidermy. Insurance is
an article that every man desires shall reach
his family intact, and il cannot be great
qualification to be told in fiaring type that the
company who solicits his patronage intends
to save S507 on each 81 900 OF insurance that it
carries. Even the famous "double dividend"
which has already been several times "called
in by telegraph" cannot make amends. 1t is
simply IL payment that in any other company
would have been made in the second year OF
membership.
But there is "another source" from which
the dividends OF the Northwestern Mutual Lite
Insurance Company are drawn, viz The for
teited, or partly forfeited reserves on lapsed
and surrendered policies. The following ia.
BILE shows the amount OF lapsed and surrend-
cred policies in six great Life Insurance com
panics and the sum per 81 900 paid by each in
